New York Times on Martin Nowak
I’m a big fan of Martin Nowak, so it’s great to see his great stuff being proselytized to the masses by the New York Times (found via The Loom). Everyone even remotely interested in evolutionary biology absolutely needs to read Evolutionary Dynamics. Be patient with the math (some calculus, a little linear algebra), because really, it’s absolutely necessary to truly understand the insight he has on the topics. Just read it. It’s got great side chapters on the evolution of linguistic universal grammar, virology, and wonderful stuff on game theory in evolution.
